Embracing the Options: Supporting End-of-Life Care in Your Community

June 20, 2018 | 8:30 - 1:30PM Fireside Inn, Lebanon, NH

All across Northern New England, older community leaders, policymakers, and partner organizations are building communities in which we can all age with dignity and choice. The Tri-State Learning Collaborative on Aging is helping to connect these inspiring leaders to resources and strategies that expand and enhance their work.

Atul Gawande, in his book, Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End, writes, “Our ultimate goal, after all, is not a good death but a good life to the very end.” To help community leaders involved in Northern New England’s aging in place movement embrace this goal, the TSLCA is hosting a regional conversation about making life good right up until the very end.

Join us for Embracing the Options: Supporting End-of-Life Care in Your Community. This shared learning experience will explore the powerful resources and tools available to help us talk about death and dying and make decisions about how we want to live. This event will explore hospice, Death Cafes, Death Doulas, advance directives, games that help you start the conversation, and much more. These amazing resources available in our communities can help us all be more thoughtful about how we live and provide care as we approach the end of life.

While not the easiest conversation to start, the conversation about death and dying is one of the most important ones we can have. We hope you will join us!
